When your loved one is gone, it is time for you to begin to build a new life. For some people, this can happen fairly quickly, but for others recovery can take a little longer.

Challenged by difficult and perhaps tumultuous emotions, this can be a confusing time. Grief is a natural response to death, but no one can predict how an individual will react to such a significant loss. Some people are able to go about their daily schedules just as before, but others are overwhelmed and require a helping hand.

At Ogeechee Area Hospice we recognize that there is no “normal” way to grieve. Our Bereavement Program supports family members for 13 months after the loss of a loved-one. We regard each family member individually and connect with him or her in the way that is most helpful.
